Best Hotels in New York City

The lobby was welcoming and dimly lit to create a relaxing and inviting ambiance. The music was sometimes played too loud. Some of the music played was inappropriate (rap) and offensive (some lyrics should be sensored). I recommended the manager review the DJ playlists as I was offended when some songs with explicit inappropriate lyrics were played. It is not in the best interest of the Paramount to align their brand this way.
The room was bright and clean and had wonderful natural lighting. The room was exceptionally quiet for a Times Square located hotel. The vendor shops across the street made it very convenient to buy souvenirs without having to take the subway to Canal Street.

We enjoyed our stay at the Belvedere. It was very convenient to Times Square, the Theater District and the subway. The room was nicer than we expected. Our room was high enough (12th floor) that it was not too loud from the street.
We had the executive double double for a family of four (8 year old and 12 year old), and though we were a little squeezed, it was enough space for all of us. We stayed four nights, and we would stay there again.

I booked the room for my boy friend's birthday. The decor of the hotel was very impressive. After going out for dinner we had drinks in the lounge and caught the end of the live jazz. It was the perfect end to the night.
The room was good but all hotels (I've stayed in many) offer complimentary water bottles but here everything you touch you'll be charged for. Also the water was freezing or slightly warm for the shower. For the price of the stay I would expect warmer water.

Just fine, room tight but fine. Had to ask for coffee tray to be delivered twice. When maintenance came to bring batteries for remote they were a little forward about coming into the room with out asking.

Hotels

The city is divided into five unique boroughs, where you’ll find countless New York hotels. Manhattan, one of the more popular boroughs, features accommodations located near must-see destinations, including Central Park, Greenwich Village, and Times Square. Another alluring borough is Brooklyn, which is home to the Brooklyn Bridge, Coney Island, and Prospect Park. Regardless of which borough you decide to stay in, there are countless hotels in New York City located near the must-see attractions.

Transportation

While visitors can reserve car rentals in New York City, do realize that driving through the city is not for the faint of heart. Because of the seemingly perpetual traffic, people often choose alternative modes of transportation.

Walking is a common form of getting around the city, but pedestrians should remain alert. At all hours of the day, the streets are jam packed and the sidewalks are crowded, so be mindful of the flow of pedestrian and vehicle traffic.

New York City Subway is an intricate system and one of the most popular ways to get around in the Big Apple. It runs 24/7 offering service to areas all over the city. To ride the subway, travelers must purchase a MetroCard from stations, local grocery stores, or newsstands.

The famous yellow taxis in New York City offer another way of getting around, especially Manhattan, but taxi fees are pricier than the subway fares. To hail down a taxi, stay clear of traffic on the side of the road and raise one hand in the air.

Travel Basics

The first rule to being a tourist in New York City is not to act like a tourist. Refrain from blocking the already congested city sidewalks. Plan out your route ahead of time, and use your smart phone for directions instead of pulling out a map.

Although you may feel inspired by Fashion Week and the trendy celebrities who strut their stuff in six-inch heels in New York City, stilettos and fashionable footwear have no place in the sightseer’s attire. From circumnavigating Central Park to touring Ellis Island, your feet will want the coziest pair of shoes you can find. Save your stylish shoes for when you can hop in a cab instead.

Weather

New York City can experience summer temperatures in the high 90s and even low 100 degrees Fahrenheit with extreme humidity, though the temps tend to generally hover between the 70s and 80 degree F mark. Winter can see temperatures around 20 F with the possibility of snow. Though you may have to brave the chilly temperatures, from January to April you can usually land some of the cheapest deals on hotels in NYC.

For less extreme temperatures and weather, visit during spring or fall. During this time, the weather is more mild and perfect for catching the flowers blossoming in spring or the foliage changing colors in the autumn. The mornings and evenings can still be cool during these seasons, so it’s best to pack some layers to prepare for unpredictable weather.

Regardless of whether the temperatures are soaring or plummeting in New York City, the massive skyscrapers, indulgent shopping destinations, and famous attractions are sure to distract you from whatever weather rolls through the city on your vacation.
